Cargo pants really look bad with anything in them though, except flattish items like paper money. These trousers look like an improvement.
I think the next step is to reinvent the bum bag in a slightly more sartorially-elegant form.

- Kalium 6y agoHow "bad" they look is part of the aesthetic of cargo pants. Wearing them is in part a deliberate declaration that you do not care about the aesthetic considerations.
- jablan 6y agoOr that you simply have different aesthetic criteria. When did fashion start being axiomatic?
- Kalium 6y agoExcuse me. You're right, I've been over-broad. Purposely adopting cargo pants requires a rejection of the primacy of common, mainstream aesthetic culture in clothing decision-making for any of a variety of reasons. Examples include, but are in no way limited to, functional reasons and personal aesthetics. Thank you for this opportunity to clarify my thoughts.
- jablan 6y agoThanks, my cargo pants really needed that self-esteem boost.
- wnoise 6y agoBetter, but still not quite right. You don't have to reject the primacy if you never acquired it or considered it in the first place. Fashion is a feature of socialization, and not everyone was socialized the same way.
